Web Hosting + Business Package + Current Domain Name

  • Unknown's avatar

    To Whom It May Concern:
    We currently have a site that we built with WIX and our web hosting is with WIX also. Our question is if we purchase the Business plan with WordPress ($300.00 annually) will this provide the tools to build our site and also cover our web hosting cost for the year?.
    Thank you –

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hello there,

    With the business plan you’re able to install plugins from the WordPress.org plugin repo, of which there are many.

    What tools do you need specifically to build your site?

    Happy to advise and suggest best next steps.

    We are looking to utilize the sportspress plug in and just a simple theme, nothing fancy. It will be mostly just information and a form. So we want to know that the Business plan will allow us to build a site and also host. Thank you.

  • Hello there,

    Many thanks for that additional information.

    The business plan will allow you to host that plugin, and hosting is also included. :)

    I hope this helps.

    Great! Thank you. Also, once we purchase a plan does the 12 months start once we purchase or once we publish it?

  • Unknown's avatar

    It’s 12 months from the time of purchase.

    Once you get a yearly Business plan, you have access to priority email and live chat support. You can access this priority support from your account page where you can get help more quickly than posting in the free public support forums.

    Is there a plug in that will allow us to process payments via PayPal and/or Venmo?

  • Hello there,

    PayPal is built into WooCommerce, which is free to use.

    Please see how to set this up here: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-paypal-payments/#section-4

    It looks like Venmo have their own system, and use a third party plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/momo-venmo/

    I hope this helps.

    Is it possible to create an app within WordPress with any of the plugins?

  • Hi there,

    There are some 3rd party plugins that claim to be able to convert your WordPress site into a mobile app, but we do not have experience with any of them, and would not be able to make a suggestion in this case:

    I would definitely recommend doing some research in this area to see if it’s feasible for the site you wish to create before proceeding. Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

    You all have been great in answering our questions. A few other questions we have before we decide…

    1. Currently, we manually enter our stats from paper to our WIX site to show game outcomes, player stats and updated standings. Is there a way when using WordPress/Sportspress where our scorekeepers can enter the results real time as the game is being played with real time updates?

    2. What Sportspress plugin/package would we need if we are running a 4 team league where we need to capture/display team stats, player stats, schedules, etc?

    3. I see something titled “Boxseat” in themeboy, is this just a template or something seperate?

    Thank you for your help.

    Absolutely on WordPress.com, content isn’t static and so long as you’re logged in to the site as a game is being played, you can edit scores and update the page.

    2. What Sportspress plugin/package would we need if we are running a 4 team league where we need to capture/display team stats, player stats, schedules, etc?

    It looks like Boxseat is a theme – and it’s built with sport in mind.

    If you like the look of this theme, you may want to reach out to them to see if they can accommodate that 4 team league requirement. It looks like they can be contacted here https://support.themeboy.com/
